Assuming no medical conditions, allergies, intolerances, etc. any fruit or vegetable can be part of a healthy diet as long as it fits in your calories and macros.0

I avoid no fruits and vegetables due to calories. I avoid certain vegetables because they are icky.0

I agree. There's a few that are higher in carbs/calories you might want to limit if they don't fit your goals, but they all have nutritional value - there's no non-medical reason to avoid any fruits or vegetables. In fact, the more you can work into your calorie and macro goals, the better. Make your goal to eat a full rainbow every day if you can.0 -
As said, all are OK if no medical condition and fit into your calorie count
I avoid grapefruit because it mucks up my medication, and I avoid avocado because not too keen on them, and for the calories I would rather eat more of something else0 -
I think what you're looking for is "coconut and avocado" because those two have the highest amount of calories/fat. However, as others have said, they serve their nutritional purpose. Avocados are actually kind of amazing, if you're in to that kind of thing.0

Some fruits have more fructose than others so you need to be careful of how much you eat of those fruits... keeping your sugar to 10 percent of your calories will solve that problem.
Fructose is NOT metabolized as glucose is and is converted to fat!

I avoid bananas and potatoes because they raise my sugar levels. Eat what you like. Oh and I avoid yogurt because it makes me gag. No kidding0

Fruits and vegetables are awesome and should be a part of your daily diet. They are some of the best things you can eat.0

A variety of fruits and vegetables is good for nutritional balance. I wouldn't avoid any of them....
C'mon, it's fruit. Think about this logically, in a big picture sense. Is any fruit really bad enough to necessitate avoiding it completely? I can understand avoiding trans fats, or fried food, or nutella, or even brownies....but FRUIT? nope nope nope.0 -
Beats....avoid beats....yuck0

I love the "eat a rainbow" everyday. Good advice! I keep my banana intake down because of the calorie count but I do love them in my smoothies. I usually put 1/3 of a frozen banana and then my greens with one other type of fruit. I love avocados, and I've read because of the nutrients and it containing the "good fat" that you should eat half an avocado a day. I have started putting them in my smoothies and now I want one in there everyday! It just makes it so rich and creamy! So if you don't like avocados by themselves, try blending them and see if you like them better. My fav smoothie is: kale, bok choy, avocado, small orange or cutie, 1/3 frozen banana. I think it's delicious!
If you're on facebook check out the page for "Eat Your Medicine". They post a lot of great info regarding what a variety of fruits and vegetables do for you. I get a lot of great ideas of what to add to my daily menu and maybe some new ideas of something to try. Check it out!
Last comment: As a whole, I stay away from starchy vegetables like white potatoes and corn. Sweet potatoes or yams have so much flavor without anything added and have a lot going for them nutritionally too.0 -
Whatever you do, do NOT eat lima beans. They are disgusting.
Any other fruit of veggie (barring a medical condition) is fine.0 -
Bananas are not "worst" they do have more calories than an apple or orange, but that doesn't make them bad. They also have a lot of potassium, and can help fuel a workout.
Assuming you have no medical conditions that would indicate otherwise, as long as you make room for it in your macros and calorie limits, you can eat what you want. Including bananas, potatoes, or even brownies.0 -

The Skinny on Obesity
Fruit is good for you and it is a very minor source of fructose for most people. Whole fruits are combined with fiber and contain very little fructose compared to other foods and processed fruit juices. The big sources tend to be refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A breakfast drink such as glass of orange juice has around 65 grams of fructose while an apple has about 11 and a cup of strawberries only has 4 grams .
It should also be noted that while fructose is more easily turned into fat you're talking about very very minor differences. Most of it is converted to useful energy for the body.0 -

This is not true... it's converted into glucose by the liver.. Only exceed calories convert into fat.. having a banana won't make you fat.
OP, weight loss is about calories.. just eat fruits that meet your nutritional needs.0 -

edited to add an actual non snark answer: as stated, unless you have a medical reason to limit sugar, theres really no need to avoid any fruits. just make them fit into your caloric allowance and you'll be good to go! healthy caloric deficit is really all you need to lose weight.0 -
Beats....avoid beats....yuck
I think you mean beets.
Beets are yummy.
Turn my pee a funny color tho.
Better than the smell asparagus adds to my pee0 -
California has REALLY good fruit so I don't really think there's a worst or any that should be avoided. They pretty much have the best fruit in the country.
ETA: Oh, you said Calories. Just don't eat the ones you don't like.0 -
As a diabetic I avoid bananas! I eat tons of apples because they don't affect blood sugar levels like other fruits do.
I don't know why you would avoid fruits if you didn't have a medical purpose?0 -

I mean if I were to pick a fruit that would be of lesser value to cut out it would be fruits with lower micronutrient content and less fiber such as grapes or watermelon.. I mean both those fruits have micros and fiber but I would think it would be more optimal to eat berries, apples, bananas, oranges.0

If you are looking for fruits high and low sugar you can google that. I fit the fruits and veggies in which includes potatoes. Sometimes my meal is a baked potato, with broccoli and cheese. You can read all kinds or articles about what 's good and what's not. If you have no medical issues, enjoy them and fit within your calories. I don't worry about the sugar in fruit because it a natural. I try to eat 3 fruits a day.0

You take that back. Lima beans are amazing. I was a very strange child who only liked lima beans and broccoli for a while... my opinion probably shouldn't be trusted.0 -
